The best description I’ve heard yet, from a woman in central Wisconsin, is that the process is messy and putzy, but well worth it.

I agree. After six weeks, my cat’s feeding tube has been removed, and he is well on his way to being the healthy, mischievous, demanding king of the household he was before he became anorexic.

I’ll know I’ve achieved this goal when I can leave him the same food the other two cats in the household get, and not worry who is eating what anymore!

The water aerobics classes include some weight training, which seems to be playing a bit of havoc with my joints. Or at least that’s what I thought was the problem. I had a therapeutic massage Friday, and found out that I need to drink more water to loosen up the connective tissues in my shoulders. The massage really seemed to help, and I’ve been mindfully drinking much more water. That can’t hurt on the weight-loss goal, either!

I have the opportunity to be coached free for 3 sessions, on a topic of my choice. I chose this one! My goal for this week (with an estimated 75% probability of 100% success) was to attend all 3 water aerobics classes at the JCC, on Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday at 6:30 p.m.

Well, I missed Monday’s class because I was putting up new drapes (yea!) and didn’t pay attention to the time. :-(

On the other hand, I did spend time in the pool yesterday … not a rigorous workout, but better than sitting at home in front of the television with microwaved marshmallows and Dove candy! :-)
